²³ Who among you will pay heed to this?
    Who will pay attention and listen in the future?
²⁴ Who handed over Jacob to be plundered,
    who gave up Israel to be despoiled?
Was it not the Lord,
    against whom we have sinned?
They refused to walk in his ways,
    and they would not obey his laws.
²⁵ Therefore, he poured out upon them
    his blazing anger and the fury of battle.
It enveloped them in flames,
    but they did not understand,
it burned them,
    but they did not take it to heart.
